How bad was the damage on that suburban?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Here's one of my Sako's; 1969/70 vintage L579 Forester chambered in .243. I acquired it from the U.S. servicewoman that was the original owner and brought it back from tour of duty in Europe where she hunted boar with it; so it carries no importer stamp. Optics are the original Pecar Berlin 2 3/4-7 scope in Sako 26mm rings. Almost sold the scope, but decided to keep the package together. The scope is VERY good for its age; better than my VARI-X III's.

GW, is the thumbhole stock on the top gun a factory stock? The reson I ask is that other than being laminate VS heavily striped light colored Walnut the stock shape and stylization of that stock look to be the same as my Sako L-461 223 rifle. I always thought that the stock on mine was a later addittion or replacement. My thoughts were based partly on the thumbhole design and partly due to the exceptional wood on mine. But, maybe it is/was a factory handle?

No, IIRC, that is Richard's Microfit thumbhole stock. http://www.rifle-stocks.com/The previous owner had glass bedded it for the same S-491 action, and I was lucky enough to pick it up from him. JAPMF, GWB
